You need to enable the "fastbugs" repo as it seems you have installed the
glibc from that repo . The "fastbugs" repo has glibc-2.12-1.25.el6_1.3
and the "standard" repo has glibc-2.12-1.25.el6 .
yum --enablerepo=fastbugs install gcc
This will enable the fastbugs repo which has the glibc versions that you
have installed already.
